Principal's Letter

On behalf of the Mission Basilica School community, I would like to welcome you to the home of the Swallows! Mission Basilica School is a Blue Ribbon school with a nurturing staff and rigorous academics aligned to the Common Core State Standards. Our school develops students with a strong sense of moral character and exceptional academic abilities who have the opportunity of being part of a history past, present and in the making. Here at Mission Basilica School, we recognize the uniqueness of each child, nurture their capabilities, provide them with opportunities to develop leadership skills and encourage them to achieve their optimal spiritual, academic, and creative potential. I hope you enjoy your tour of our school website, and we invite you to visit our campus.
